    Feng Jian waved to the cheering soldiers as he spoke. Cheng Yousheng, Huang Jinjiang and other personal guards followed closely behind. Although they did not look sideways, their faces naturally showed a look of pride.  Zhuang Yingchang, Zhang Wentai and Niu Liang, the three generals of Dengzhou Navy, also stepped off several other warships. Zhuang Yingchang, Zhang Wentai and others were shocked by this new style of military port.  In their minds, it is very dangerous for a warship to dock in the sea. A slightly larger wind and wave will capsize the warship.  Now Feng Jian has built the entire naval fleet on the unobstructed sea, and the wind and waves inside the military port are obviously smaller than outside. What is the reason?  These naval commanders are all experienced people on the water. Looking at the breakwater that goes a hundred feet deep into the sea, they understand that the sea is so calm in the military port. It is probably because of this breakwater that it is working!  Niu Liang and other three Dengzhou naval officers secretly admired the commander-in-chief. This military port planner and designer was really ingenious. This open warship stationing model would not be blocked even if it was harassed by insurgents like Kong Youde.  The naval camp cannot escape!  And when a major event occurs and the entire naval fleet needs to assemble, it can move even faster and can sail in formation directly.  A brief comparison will reveal that a closed environment like Dengzhou Water City does hinder the stationing of a large naval fleet.  Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai knew that the entire planning and design of Fushan Military Port was done by the commander alone.  Looking at the refreshing Fushan Military Port in front of them, the two of them were even more impressed by Feng Jian!  But I still can't figure out why a commander from a poor background is so omniscient and omnipotent?  On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month of the fifth year of Chongzhen, in a special conference room at Fushan Military Port, Xu Yannian, Cheng Yousheng, Huang Fuchun, Jiao Keli, Zhuang Yingchang, and Zhang Wentai sat around a long table.  Feng Jian sat at the top of the long table.  It can be seen from the smiles on the faces of everyone present that everyone in the conference room is in a happy mood.  Needless to say, all this was because the Dengzhou Navy warship successfully entered Fushan Military Port.  Feng Jian looked around at everyone.  He said, "Mr. Jiao Qian, come and announce to everyone the information returned by the Dengzhou spies." Jiao Keli quickly stood up from his seat and bowed slightly to Feng Jian.  Then he said: "I have just received information from Dengzhou City that was not received at night. Kong Youde's rebels have completely controlled Dengzhou City and Dengzhou Water City. Geng Zhongming, the leader of the standard battalion, and Chen Guangfu, the guerrilla officer, directly joined the rebels as internal officers. The city includes the governor Sun Yuanhua.  Dengzhou civil and military officials such as Wang Hui, Supervisor of the Army, Song Guanglan of Dengzhou Road, Wu Weicheng, the prefect of Dengzhou, Jia Mingjie, deputy commander-in-chief, and Zhang Tao, the deputy commander-in-chief of Denglai, were captured when the rebels entered the city.  Kill his concubine and hang himself in the Taiping Tower" Feng Jian waved his hand and interrupted Jiao Keli: "Do you have any information about Dengzhou Water City, such as whether the rebels have sent additional guards to Dengzhou Water City, etc. " Jiao.  Ke Li hurriedly said: "You did not accept spies at night and infiltrated into the rebel army to take the opportunity to find out some information about Shuicheng. Now Shuicheng is just an empty city, so Kong Youde's rebels did not pay attention to it and only sent a small number of soldiers to guard it. In addition, there were several red barbarians at the head of Shuicheng.  The cannon was dismantled by the rebels and moved to the top of Dengzhou City. "Feng Jian's expression moved slightly and he said: "Logically, Shuicheng and the main city of Dengzhou are complementary to each other. Kong Youde and others cannot fail to recognize such an important strategic location.  , why did you give up?" Cheng Yousheng spoke quickly and said with a smile: "It may be that Kong Youde and other rebels are temporarily short of troops and have no time to take care of Shuicheng." Xu Yannian frowned and said: "Then why did Kong Youde's rebels dismantle the Hongyi cannon at the top of the city and lost the red army.  With the Yi artillery, Shuicheng could only defend passively. "Cheng Yousheng rolled his eyes and said, "This is just my guess. Why do you think Kong Youde gave up the defense of Shuicheng?" Xu Yannian knew that Cheng Yousheng was unforgiving, so he didn't blame him.  He frowned and thought, "I have no way of guessing what the intentions of Kong Youde's rebels were. But from a strategic perspective, the Dengzhou rebels who lost their naval warships were like a man who lost a leg and became a cripple.  Although Dengzhou City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the imperial court gathers a large army, it will be possible to capture Dengzhou City. If there is a critical moment, Kong Youde's rebels can only defend Dengzhou City.  , Maybe Kong Youde's rebels thought it would be more useful to concentrate all their forces in one place instead of dividing them for defense. " Feng Jian looked at Xu Yannian with admiration. His analysis was appropriate. Today, Kong Youde's rebels lost the Dengzhou Navy Battle.  The boat, without the possibility of escaping by water, would probably find another way out.  Xu Yannian saw this very accurately. I am afraid that among the senior officers of Zhenshan Camp, only Xu Yannian and Zhao Shougang have such strategic vision!  Feng Jian laughed and said: "How Kong Youde's rebels are deployed in Dengzhou City has nothing to do with us for the time being. General Jiao Qian ordered Dengzhou City to investigate."?Just pay more attention to the situation in Shuicheng and report it at any time!  " Jiao Ke immediately bowed and agreed again. "Today we mainly discuss the Fushan military port and the naval warships.  " Feng Jian coughed and continued: "Now the facilities of Fushan Military Port are complete and complete, and naval warships are parked there safely and efficiently. I believe everyone can see this.  Feng Jian glanced at Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai and said: "There is no need to worry about the food, wages, welfare, warships, supplies and supplies for the Navy officers and soldiers. Everything is borne by Huluyan. The Navy only needs to concentrate on training."  " "After returning to Pingdu in a few days, I will report to the court that the Dengzhou navy has been rescued from Kong Youde's rebels by our Pingduzhou flood camp. The court will naturally reward and reward it, and of course it will re-dispatch officials.  Come and take over these naval warships again.  "The corners of Feng Jian's mouth turned up slightly, and he said with a hint of sneer. "Seeing that everyone including Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai had angry expressions on their faces, why should the naval warship he rescued from Kong Youde's rebels be wanted again?  Once again under the control of the corrupt officials of the imperial court, Feng Jian continued: "Don't worry, everyone, the lifeline of the navy's survival is now in our own hands. The imperial court is sending people to take over. How can we, the navy officers and soldiers, obey.  ?  I say this is delusional.  The hundred warships of the navy are already at my disposal. How can they fall into the hands of others again?  " Feng Jian paused for a moment, then continued: "Of course we are still the naval fleet of the Ming Dynasty, and we must accept the control of the court!  " Feng Jian's words are heartbreaking. If they had been spread during the Hongwu or Yongle years, they would have caused the disaster of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan. But now that they are said, everyone here takes it for granted. " When the soldiers eat food, who can pay the soldiers food?  Supplies, the soldiers will serve for whom! What's more, everyone here has tied their lives and fortunes to this big ship, Huluyan. It would be better to return the warship to the court and let those corrupt officials make money.  Stay under the command of the commander and truly play the role of this naval fleet. Huang Fuchun said: "Why bother? The imperial court will send officials to kill him. We will tell the outside world that he was attacked by bandits. Let's see who dares to come!"  Harassment!  Feng Jian glanced at him and said: "We are no longer the bandits we used to be. We are now officers and soldiers of Pingdu Prefecture Flood Camp. Officials who went to work were killed here. How can we explain to the court?"  " Cheng Yousheng is now putting himself in the shoes of the navy fleet. He said: "I am afraid that the court will make trouble and require the navy fleet to station at a designated place. What should we do?  Zhuang Yingchang frowned and said: "Denglai Navy is larger in scale. Only Dongjiang Town Navy can compare with it in scale within the surrounding sea area. However, the artillery on board Dongjiang Navy fleet cannot compare with Denglai Navy. However, the imperial court  It is impossible to hand over two fleets to Dongjiang Town at the same time.  " Zhang Wentai nodded at the side and said: "Dengzhou Water City was occupied by Kong Youde's rebels. Our Denglai Navy has no warship station. Now our Fushan Water City can station naval warships, which solves this problem. The commander can write this in the memorial  Mention this matter in the media, and then try to open up connections with the ministers of the DPRK and China. As long as there is money to open the way, even if someone questions the sudden appearance of the Fushan military port, there will be no disturbance!  " Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai are indeed people who have been in the Navy for a long time. They know all about it. With them, they can avoid many detours in all aspects of the Navy. It seems that they need to give Cheng Yousheng good instructions.  There are many things to ask these former naval commanders for advice! Feng Jian really didn¡¯t think too much about the fact that the navy would be coveted by the imperial princes in the future. He just heard Zhuang Yingchang and Zhang Wentai¡¯s narration and felt that  It is not easy to completely control this naval fleet in your own hands. In the eyes of the ministers of the imperial court, you were just an insignificant little garrison with no profit. Now you are in charge of a fleet of hundreds of ships.  With a fleet of large and small warships, the imperial court allocates at least 200,000 taels of silver to the navy every year. This is a huge profit. I wonder who among the ministers in the court can watch this white money fall to him.  Feng Jian shook his head unconsciously. This matter was very difficult. He had better rush back to Pingdu and ask his father-in-law, Pingdu Zhizhou Chen Suowen, for advice on how to report to the court.  His suggestion was: "Let's not care about anything else for the moment. Now that the navy is under my command, Huluyan, it will be reorganized. Are the three commanders, Zhuang Yingchang and Niu Liang, willing to stay in the navy camp?  "Feng Jian turned to ask Zhuang Yingchang. "The three of them are all smart people. After the subordinates relayed the commander's intention, the three naturally agreed to stay in the naval camp and expressed their willingness to only follow the commander's orders.  "Well, Cheng Yousheng, send someone to invite the three of them to come to the meeting!"??As ordered!  " Soon Niu Liang, Zhan Yuan, and Lan Zhengji followed Qin Mazi to the conference room with excited faces. They saw that the people in the conference room were all the backbone of Feng Jian's men. Obviously the meeting was more important. After entering the conference room, the three  They knelt down and kowtowed to Feng Jian tacitly, expressing their intention to submit to Feng Jian. Feng Jian didn't have a good impression of the three at first. He originally planned to use them to sail the naval warship away from Dengzhou Water City, so he sent the three.  People are driven away from the navy! (To be continued)
